project specialist at a CDN telecom and i'm 27.
achieved AC*E mainly due to semi-frequent work travel to Waterloo! yippy! occasionally i've been sent to Dallas, Chicago, UK, and Germany but this only gets me 75% of the way to AC*E. for the past 2 years, i had to fork out a trip to HKG to get me there. i hope i'll be able to score a trip to HKG on an annual basis. hehe, wishful thinking.

Another CA here. CFO of a TSX listed company. Probably 90% of my travel is work related with about 11-12K of personal lumped in (mainly to Florida or the Caribbean (especially BGI)).

Semi-retired consulting telecommunications engineer. World Bank, ADB and CIDA projects have seen me work in over 40 countries worldwide. The global travel has been scaled way back as I head into my seventies so glad to have made LE. Still lots of recreational travel but, due to family commitments, spread over *A and 1W carriers. Should be close to a million with 1W but wouldn't know where to start or which airline to contact though I think BA would be the best bet since I held their emerald status for a number of years.

I'm not the traveler, my girlfriend is, I'm just somebody in the USA who's met a great woman in YYZ and likes to see her every weekend if I can.

Almost all of my flying is on my own dime, MRing it on UA ... doing 35k miles of penance in 31" E- for the possibility that I will win AeroLotto in the next year and u/g a transpac
